Yes, this was an expensive repair but it was absolutely no fault of Allman Family Auto. The issue…read morestems from Chrysler's Pentastar cylinder heads, which are a known problem. I always do my research, and unfortunately my assessment turned out to be correct even before Allman completed their diagnostics. Mike at Allman spent a great deal of time walking me through different scenarios and options, providing detailed estimates for each. I also requested additional estimates, including a full engine replacement, so I could make a fully informed decision. While their estimate was less than dealership service departments, it was slightly higher than another independent shop. After researching the difference, I found it came down to Allman using OEM parts rather than cheaper aftermarket parts made overseas. I don't use cheap parts on my vehicles, so that made the decision easy. Once I felt fully comfortable, I chose Allman and I'm glad I did. Mike kept me informed throughout the process, and my Jeep was back on the road even earlier than estimated. Thank you, Allman Family Auto, for the honesty, transparency, and quality work.

I wanted to post a follow-up to my original review regarding my experience with Allman Family Auto…read moreShop. After I raised concerns about what I believed was a misdiagnosis and being overcharged for repairs that did not fix the original issue with my vehicle, I reached out to the shop directly to address the situation. To their credit, once I called them out and explained the ongoing problem, they agreed to take another look at my car. Upon re-evaluation, they acknowledged that the initial repair did not resolve the root issue. They worked on the vehicle again and ultimately fixed the original problem at no additional charge. I appreciate that they took responsibility and made the effort to correct the situation. While my initial experience was frustrating and felt misleading, I do recognize their willingness to make things right after the fact. I hope moving forward they improve their diagnostic process to prevent similar issues for other customers. Updating my review to reflect both the initial experience and the resolution.

Specifically asked if there was any pull, shake or vibration in steering wheel and I was guaranteed there was not. I showed up ubering from the airport, to a filthy dirty car, took for a test drive. Right away vibration in the steering wheel, steering wheel pulled. When I mentioned it, they wanted to swap tires and rims for other rims that had large curb cuts in them and tires that were bald. Then when I went to turn the car on it came up with a light out and the service light on. Tbey tried to tell me the oil was just changed and the oil business did not reset the light. I noticed an oil sticker in the window that was from 2024. They knew where I was coming from and had notice. The car should have at least been washed. Plus they were not honest about condition. Please beware. They talk a good game, but slap lipstick on a pig and even pointed out to them they make excuses.

Every call he spent time with me, explaining all I needed, each call, not rushing and very patient. He was always respectful, not talking down to me, as I have often felt as a female.

Wow- Negative experience with this dealership. I inquired about a Pathfinder, contacted Mike and…read morenegotiated the price. Mike had given me his best price for the pathfinder and then suddenly did not hear from him. Called and said the vehicle was at Nissan for a recal and told Mike to call me when the vehicle was back. I offered to put down a deposit since I had to drive 100 miles from LA couny to see the Pathfinder. Then I was ghosted. Did not hear back from Mike, no update on the vehicle and no honor on the deal we had discussed. Like other reviews state, unprofessional, no word from Mike and will ghost you the moment he finds someone else to buy the vehicle. With sooo many incentives and so many vehicles for sale, I highly recommend to try elsewhere, not worth the hassle. 12/23/2025

I had recently replaced one of them with a pre-owned ACURA I purchased about a month ago which was a very good car buying experience. The dealership we had worked with was great. I still needed to replace the second lease vehicle and I wanted to replace it with another ACURA. I began my search to replace the second lease vehicle. I contacted several dealerships in the LA area over the next 2 months to find another well taken care of vehicle at a fair price. You would think finding any vehicle in a densely populated metropolis such as Los Angeles would be fairly easy, with a plethora of options to choose from. Not so much the case or at least not so much my luck until I expanded my search outside of LA and came across New to You Auto Sales in El Cajon CA. New to You Auto Sales not only had the vehicle (i.e. make, model, options, color, mileage, etc.) but it was also in outstanding condition and they offered it at a very fair price! I checked it out from top to bottom and it was in as good as a new vehicle condition. We made the purchase and drove back home to LA county. Once we got the vehicle back home, I had a certified mechanic give it a thorough inspection and everything came back 100% positive with no issues. The mechanic was equally impressed. I'm glad to say working with New to You Auto Sales was a great experience!
